264. Sketchdaily Watercolors Start Up

Watercolor Posted on August 13, 2023 20:23

I ran out of small circles to draw patterns in when I was on vacation. Perhaps I had enough of patterns too. But I was not done drawing – which was the entire point of the patterns! I still wanted to work with no stress and no huge commitments, but I also needed a little push to keep going. So I looked up Sketchdaily on Reddit that I worked with years back. They had an art exchange with deadline for signup in about a week and the requirements was that participants needed a streak of at least 15 (aka 15 days of drawing). I always wanted to try out being part of an art exchange so here was the push I needed! And so the drawing continued. One drawing a day was my goal, but at the beginning I did have to catch up a bit more to reach the requirements before deadline, so I drew and painted the daily prompt plus a day’s prompt that had already passed. I find I absolutely love the format of a daily watercolor and the community at Sketchdaily is super supportive too. My only problem now is to catch up the blog here because the pile of drawings to show off here is growing rapidly. So here are my renditions of the last 27 days of Sketchdaily prompts, with the newest from today first 🙂

“Angry Fish”
“High Society”
Free draw Friday (FDF) I chose to paint an alpine flower I saw on my recent vacation
“Regatta”
“Embroidery” Uhm …well… that somehow turned into a garden snail today 😀
“Bump in the night”
“Gloomy”
“Circle of Life”
“Dusty old books”
Free draw Friday – I went for a girl in my regional costume
“Large Birds”
“Disguise”
“Sandwiches”
Microscopic
“Witches”
“Ogre”
Free draw Friday – I went for an Air balloon.
“Arches”
“Irritant”
“Loud Things”
“Wanted”
“Glass”
“Hedgehog”
“Free draw Friday” I went for a very quick owl.
“Judge”
“Sad lost puppy”
“Warning Sign”

Whew! And with that we are all caught up with my drawings, paintings and sketches 🙂



263. Doodles and Zentangle

Ink Posted on August 13, 2023 19:26

As a stepping stone to get back into drawing I figured something light and easy to do, that’s not very time consuming was needed. And so I made those tiny little circles to fill with whatever pattern I come up with at the time. After researching I found out they actually have a name – they are Zentangles! Well some of them are anyway. There’s rules around Zentangles (patterns should not be actual recognizable objects like strawberries or flowers), but there’s no rules when it comes to my doodles. Whatever hits me at the time goes! I did have quite a lot of fun with these while I was on vacation and they ended up to be quite the collection of zentangles and patterns.
